Houdini act:
With 22 needed off 12 balls, the seasoned Matthew Wade turned to his outrageous ramp shot to unsettle Shaheen Afridi, who until then had been rather difficult to negotiate (his figures — 3-0-13-1). The first three balls of the over yielded four runs, including two to Wade after he was dropped by Hasan Ali in the deep on the leg side. And then came the ramp shot: the fourth ball is full on leg-stump, it’s hit for a six behind the wicketkeeper; the fifth, a length ball on leg-stump, is slogged over cow corner for six; and the sixth, a yorker, is taken on the full and deposited beyond the boundary behind the wicketkeeper. Wade stole victory with a breathtaking assault, and the unheralded Australia was now going to play the World Cup final.
